Appendix A – Cleaning and Flushing of Plant Piping Systems
Water Flushing
Equipment which is sensitive to damage during water flushing shall be removed,
blocked off or isolated. A list shall be prepared and be part of the flushing procedure.
Ball valves shall be flushed in fully open position.
All piping systems shall be flushed using high pressure [60.8 mPa (8.8 ksi) minimum]
jet such as rotating hose or rotating nozzle.
Below 4", use High Velocity Water Flushing (HVWF). On systems where high
pressure jet flushing cannot be used due to complicated shapes and/or long runs use
HVWF or slug flushing. Water velocity shall be a minimum of 3 m/s.
The general flushing medium shall be plant/ process water or raw water. Fire water
may be used where process water is not available. Sea water is not acceptable.
When flushing stainless steel lines, the chloride ion content shall be less than 50 mg/L.
After flushing, the piping systems shall be completely drained, dried to a dew point
below -1°C and protected against corrosion.
Pneumatic Flushing
Pneumatic flushing with dry air (dew point -1°C or less) or steam with a minimum exit
velocity of 15 m/s. Repeat flushing until cleanliness is verified by observing the
absence of any solids impact on a polished metal target at the exit.
Pressurized Air Shock Blowing (PASB)
Use PASB for initial cleaning for instrument air, plant air and as an alternative method
for initial cleaning of small bore pipe (less than 2 inch). Use PASB if there are
problems removing trapped liquid in the piping, or to verify cleanliness of small bore
pipe where video inspection is impossible or inadequate due to pipe dimension or
configuration.
The air shocking pressure shall never exceed the working pressure of the system and
shall never be more than 810 kPa (115 psi). Safety precaution shall be considered in
consultation with Area Loss Prevention Division when this method is used.
Repeat PASB until cleanliness is verified by observing the absence of any solids impact
on a polished metal target at the exit.
